We prorate your rent by the day after the first 28-day billing cycle, so you don't have to pay for a full month when you only have your mobile containers and offices for a few days.

While other companies may be able to do small container modifications, most don't have an in-house fabrication staff or 90,000 sq ft fabrication facility like we do. As a result, they outsource the work on your custom container, so you don't know who's actually building it.

Latest News in Hollywood, CA

It costs $10 million to dress an A-list actress at the Oscars. These 8 mind-blowing figures reveal the price tag of Hollywood's biggest night.

The Academy Awards ceremony costs a whopping $56.8 million, according to data shared by WalletHub.Each year, WalletHub breaks down the costs associated with Hollywood's biggest night.

The Academy Awards ceremony costs a whopping $56.8 million, according to data shared by WalletHub.

Each year, WalletHub breaks down the costs associated with Hollywood's biggest night. According to the 2023 report, it takes $56.8 million to put on the Academy Awards.

This is just a fraction of the money spent on the actual nominees, though. "Avatar: The Way of Water" — which is nominated in four categories this year, including best picture — had a budget between $350 million and $460 million.

The 50,000-square-foot red carpet alone costs $24,700.

That's not the only shocking figure associated with the red carpet: Its installation takes 600 hours.

Celebrities will start gracing the red carpet at 5 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 12. The show itself starts at 8 p.m. ET.

Each gold-plated Oscar award costs $400.

The estimated cost of each 24-karat gold-plated mini statue awarded to winners is about $400, according to WalletHub.

The Academy gives out awards in 24 categories, and a winner is not allowed to sell their statue without first offering to sell it to the Academy for $1, according to its policy.

Couples must pay at least $80,000 for tickets to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Each year, the highly anticipated, ultra-glamorous event hosted by Vanity Fair is attended by Hollywood's biggest stars — often after they've had a change of wardrobe.

The Oscar goodie bags contain up to $200,000 worth of products, including luxury getaways, cosmetic treatments, and jewelry.

WalletHub estimates that the value of each goodie bag given to Oscar nominees exceeds $200,000, though Forbes puts this year's bag closer to $126,000.

According to Forbes, among the extravagant gifts that nominees will receive this year are a $25,000 credit for home renovations, $10,000 worth of anti-aging treatments, and $435 worth of gourmet dates. The bag also includes a three-night, $40,000 getaway at a home in Ottawa with an outdoor pool, an archery lane, and two luxury cars.

As Insider reported, last year, the offering included a stay in a Scottish castle, and according to TimeOut UK, previous bags have included personalized stained-glass portraits, luxury condoms, and liposuction treatments.

It costs $10 million to complete the look of an A-list actress for the Oscars.

While A-listers wear multi-million-dollar looks, the cost of dressing a first-timer at the Oscars is $266,000, according to WalletHub's report.

Because the cost of a look varies based on a person's stardom, the average cost of a look at the Oscars is about $1.5 million.

In 2014, Cate Blanchett made Oscar history when she wore a $18.1 million look. Her $100,000 Armani Privé gown was the least expensive element of her outfit — her jewelry alone was estimated to cost $18 million.

A 30-second advertisement that premieres during the Oscars costs close to $2 million.

Last year, 16.6 million people tuned in to watch the show, according to Variety, citing Nielsen data. It's no surprise, therefore, that running an ad during the live event's commercial breaks is expensive.

According to WalletHub, it costs $1.95 million to buy 30-seconds of ad time during the Oscars.

ABC makes at least $117 million in ad revenue on Oscar Sunday.

WalletHub estimates that ABC, the TV network that hosts the awards, makes $117 million in ad revenue on the day of the Oscars.

Hollywood stars spend Oscars eve at annual Chanel dinner

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The night before the Oscars many of Hollywood’s biggest stars were not early to bed before the show.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The night before the Oscars many of Hollywood’s biggest stars were not early to bed before the show. They were instead chatting the night away, martinis and champagne in hand, at the storied Polo Lounge in The Beverly Hills Hotel for the annual Chanel and Charles Finch dinner, an invite that's even harder to get than a seat at the Academy Awards.

The patio where the likes of Clark Gable and Darryl Zanuck once dined was filled with the industry’s brightest talents, many of whom were dressed head to toe in Chanel, including Kristen Stewart, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman and Camila Morrone.

On the red carpet, Kidman and Stewart ran to one another to catch up, hugging and posing for photographers.

“It's been so long,” Kidman said.

Cotillard would join in moments later. Later on the patio, Kidman, emerging from a conversation with Idris Elba, could be seen embracing Ariana DeBose as Tessa Thompson spoke with best actress nominee Andrea Riseborough.

“I’m sure you must be tired,” Thompson said.

Elsewhere there was a meeting of Spider-Mans as Andrew Garfield approached Tobey Maguire, who was sipping one of the spot’s iconic martinis.

“You! You!” Maguire said, as Garfield went in for a hug. They then turned to speak to “The Whale” director Darren Aronofsky.

Several feet behind them, Jonathan Majors was deep in conversation with Riz Ahmed, while best supporting actress nominee Kerry Condon tried and failed to get a drink from the bar that had closed down in an attempt to coax the chatty celebrities into the dining room.

Inside, they were treated to a surprise performance by “The White Lotus” actor Beatrice Grannò.

Other attendees included Michael B. Jordan, Danielle Deadwyler, Hugh Grant, Brie Larson, Sigourney Weaver, Vicky Krieps, Minnie Driver, Patty Jenkins, Sarah Polley, Lily James, David O. Russell, Jerry Bruckheimer, Sofia Boutella and Ted Sarandos.

Morrone, star of “Daisy Jones & The Six,” has been going to the event for several years and said it’s one of her favorites.

“It’s like a really glamorous sleepover,” Morrone said. “I just love it here. I love to see all of the people who work in the entertainment industry who are being honored tomorrow. You’re in a room with like really artistic and incredible humans, so you just soak it all in. And I’ve won some pretty incredible Chanel pieces over the past few years here.”

For actor Whitney Peak, who is the new new face of Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle fragrance, the event was a chance to speak to some of her favorite filmmakers.

“There’s been such great movies this year and so many people who are responsible for making those films are in the room today,” Peak said. “Daniel Kwan is going to be here and I’m like, how do I tell him that I’ve been a fan of him since the Lil Jon music video?”

Chanel and cinema have been intertwined since the fashion house’s earliest days. In 1930, Samuel Goldwyn invited Gabrielle Chanel to Hollywood to dress film stars including Gloria Swanson. On her arrival back in Paris, Chanel collaborated with French filmmakers like Jean Renoir and dressed many of the new wave actresses such as Jeanne Moreau and Romy Schneider.

More recently, Chanel has supported independent productions including Leos Carax’s “Annette” and Mia Hansen-Løve’s “Bergman Island.” Chanel provided the funding for Olivier Assayas’s 35mm camera for “The Clouds of Sils Maria” and has for more than a decade supported programs for emerging filmmakers and cinematic preservation and restorations.

Not every attendee planned to make the trek down the champagne carpet at the Oscars Sunday, but one person who will certainly be there is filmmaker Ava DuVernay, who is on the Academy’s Board of Governors.

“I’m looking forward to seeing a calm, normal Oscars,” DuVernay said. “I was there last year and it was a little traumatizing. I just want it to be chill and uneventful. That would be nice.”

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Weather experts are predicting another wet weekend ahead as rain from another atmospheric river hitting Northern California is expected to sprinkle over Hollywood after Thursday night.

In comparison to more recent storms in the city, this rainstorm is predicted to be much weaker and also warmer as temperatures start to climb up about four to eight degrees according to the National Weather Service.

In Hollywood, there is a 94 percent chance of rain on Friday with a high of 62 degrees, but dryer and warmer conditions are expected to follow on Saturday and Sunday.

"This will be a much warmer system with snow levels rising to at least 8000 ft which would greatly increase the risk of flooding as snow melt would combine with the heavy rain," NWS said.

For months now, Los Angeles County has been pelted with heavy precipitation and, more recently, snow in some areas. According to the National Weather Service, this winter has been the county's 11th wettest since records began in 1877.

Find out what's happening in Hollywoodwith free, real-time updates from Patch.

Over the last three months, Downtown L.A. has gotten 17.71 inches of rain. The county's wettest winter was recorded in 2004-2005 with L.A. seeing more than 29 inches of rain, NWS said.

Additionally, the past three months in Los Angeles have had the coolest winter temperatures since the winter of 1978-79 with an average daytime temperature of about 65 degrees.

With all the rainfall, the county's drought conditions have significantly improved. Before the rain began in December, Much of the county was classified to be in a severe drought, with some eastern areas of the county experiencing dryer conditions.

After the dramatic rainstorms, including the atmospheric river that hit the county at the very start of 2023, the whole county has seen drought conditions drastically improve with areas in the Santa Monica Mountains classified as having little to no drought.

"The stormy pattern this winter hasn't only put a dent in the drought, it will eliminate it by the time spring evolves into summer," AccuWeather Chief On-Air Meteorologist Bernie Rayno said.

LOS ANGELES, CA — A tornado toppled trees in Los Angeles County, and snow dusted the Hollywood sign Thursday, a cinematic display from Mother Nature before the brunt of a powerful storm hits Southern California overnight. The real storm is yet to come.

Blizzard conditions are expected in parts of Los Angeles County Friday after snow fell in places that hadn't seen a dusting in decades. The local mountains are under their first-ever blizzard warning. Equally rare, a tornado touched down in Los Angeles County Thursday, toppling several trees in La Mirada, KTLA reported. The National Weather Service confirmed a weak tornado touched down shortly before noon in the area of Spindlewood and Larrylyn drives.

As of Thursday morning, Hollywood, Simi Valley, Santa Clarita, La Crescenta, La Cañada Flintridge, Granada Hills and Sun Valley reported rare snowfall. The unusual sight stunned the experts and locals alike. Some claim it even snowed in Venice, but National Weather Service officials indicated it's more likely to be hail or graupel, which is when snowflakes form higher in the atmosphere and fall where it is above freezing, accumulating water and melting almost instantly.

At the same time, the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains were hit with intense snowfall Thursday in a prelude to the blizzard to come.

The rare blizzard warning will be in effect for Los Angeles County mountains from 4 a.m. Friday to 4 p.m. Saturday. National Weather Service forecasters said up to 5 feet of snow could accumulate in the mountains above 4,000 feet, accompanied by wind gusts topping 80 mph that will create "near zero visibility." Higher elevations could see as much as 8 feet of snow, with accumulations of 6 to 12 inches possible at elevations between 2,000 and 4,000 feet, "including most major mountain passes."

"Travel should be restricted to emergencies only," according to the NWS. "If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle."

On Thursday, scattered downpours washed over Southern California, dropping hail from to Pasadena and Long Beach

"For today (Thursday) and tonight just scattered light showers with rates generally a tenth of an inch per hour or less," according to the National Weather Service. "More shower activity than yesterday but still mostly on the light side. Main thing today continues to be the low snow levels which will result in some impacts to roads through the mountains, even in areas that don t often get snow, such as Cuesta Pass in (San Luis Obispo), possibly San Marcos Pass above Santa Barbara, and Highway 14 between Santa Clarita and the Antelope Valley."

The snow level dropped below 1,500 feet Thursday, but it will increase to at least 2,000 feet by late Friday morning.
